Microsoft's MAI-Image-2.6-Flash takes #3 on the Artificial Analysis Image Editing Leaderboard, a significant jump over the previous generation’s Flash variant and joining MAI-Image-2.6 on the Pareto frontier for quality vs price
MAI-Image-2.6-Flash is an optimized version of MAI-Image-2.6, Microsoft AI's flagship image model, released today on Microsoft Foundry alongside MAI-Image-2.6. Like the rest of the family, it handles both text to image generation and image editing.
In the Artificial Analysis Image Arena, MAI-Image-2.6-Flash lands at #3 in Image Editing, behind only Microsoft's own MAI-Image-2.6 and OpenAI's GPT Image 2 (high) and narrowly ahead of Google's Nano Banana 2. In Text to Image it takes #8, within 5 Elo points of MAI-Image-2.5 and narrowly ahead of Google's Nano Banana Pro.
MAI-Image-2.6-Flash is a large step up on MAI-Image-2.5-Flash at the same price: it sits 69 Elo points higher in Text to Image (#16 to #8) and 34 Elo points higher in Image Editing (#12 to #3).
MAI-Image-2.6 and MAI-Image-2.6-Flash are available today on Microsoft Foundry.
Congratulations to @MicrosoftAI on the release!

MAI-Image-2.6 and new MAI-Image-2.6-Flash are redefining the Artificial Analysis quality/price Pareto frontier for image editing. Both now in Microsoft Foundry: msft.it/6018aVgIQ
Thanks for the support @AndrewYNg! Completely agree, faster token generation will become increasingly important as a greater proportion of output tokens are consumed by models, such as in multi-step agentic workflows, rather than being read by people.
Shoutout to the team that built artificialanalysis.ai . Really neat site that benchmarks the speed of different LLM API providers to help developers pick which models to use. This nicely complements the LMSYS Chatbot Arena, Hugging Face open LLM leaderboards and Stanford's HELM

Introducing MAI-Cyber-1-Flash, our new in-house cybersecurity model running inside of MDASH, our multi-agent harness that detects and remediates vulnerabilities across large-scale code bases.
MDASH: MAI-Cyber-1-Flash+GPT-5.4 model combination out-performs Mythos by 12 points on the CyberGym benchmark.
We are offering this same model configuration in MDASH for 50% cheaper than our previous best offering (GPT-5.4 + 5.4 mini + 5.3 codex).
